Remote – It’s Not Just for TVs Anymore

Working from home was once considered an oddity or sometimes a luxury.  Current times have driven a large percentage on “non-essential” workers to card table offices in their kitchen.  But is it only temporary?  Studies show we are looking at a permanent change, and most organizations are not prepared for staff members who they may only see through a computer monitor while caring for kids, navigating health issues on tele-med, calming barking dogs and competing for broadband. This session will help leaders, supervisors and Human Resource professionals boot up their mental modems and byte into Virtual Reality.
